Enter and run the following program to see how the NLQ mode is
turned on by an ESCape sequence:
NEW
5 PRINT CHR$(4);"PR#l"
10 PRINT CHR$(27);"x";CHR$(l);
20 FOR X=65 TO 105
30 PRINT CHR$(X);
40 NEXT X: PRINT
300 PRINT CHR$(4);"PR#0"
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^-‘abcdefghi
Note that you use a lowercase x, not a capital X, in line 10. Because
of the high resolution of the NLQ mode, it prints only in pica, not in
elite or compressed.
All the modes demonstrated in this chapter are compared in Table
4-l.

Remember that you don’t have to use BASIC to change modes; you
can use any method or software that sends the proper codes to the
printer.
